The '''Data Center''' is a planned machine containing some number of server racks, the purpose of which is presently unknown.<ref name="Data center racks">Mafi.Base.dll > Prototypes > Machines > DataCenterData > DataCenterProtoBuilder > ServerRackProto</ref> The game files indicate that the machine can perform floating point calculations at a rate in the range of 16 [[Wikipedia:FLOPS|teraFLOPS]], though it is unclear if this is per machine or per server rack.<ref name="Data center coolant">Mafi.Base.dll > Prototypes > Machines > DataCenterData > DataCenterProtoBuilder > Computing.FromTFlops</ref>
The '''Data Center''' is a machine containing up to 48 server racks. Each server rack is able to provide 1 [[TFlop]]s of [[Computing Power]]. The Data Center requires ~0.5 {{infoicon|Chilled Water|new=yes}} per server rack and each server rack uses 5 KW of [[Power]], as well as ~0.6 {{infoicon|Maintenance III|new=yes}}.

Due to the proximity on the [[Datacenter]] research on the [[technology tree]] to the aforementioned buildings, it is likely that computing power from the Data Center will be an additional requirement on top of the typical {{infoicon|Worker|plural=s}} amount from previous tiers.

Datacenter is used to host server racks that you add to it. Each added server rack provides computing as a resource that can be used on your island. Computing is used in advanced machines such as robotic assemblers or microchip makers. It is worth noting that each server rack has its power, cooling, and maintenance demands. However, some people say that all it does is to persist and search in a vast collection of pictures of cats and memes - we were not able to debunk this.

The Data Center is a machine containing up to 48 server racks. Each server rack is able to provide 1 TFlops of Computing Power. The Data Center requires ~0.5 Chilled Water per server rack and each server rack uses 5 KW of Power, as well as ~0.6 Maintenance III.
